Copyright and Collaboration in the Theater
A Conference at Yale University
March 9 and 10, 2018
Keynote Session
Collaboration and the American Theater
Tony Kushner in Conversation with Daphne Brooks
Yale Repertory Theatre, 1120 Chapel Street, New Haven
March 9, 4:30-5:30 pm
This conference will explore connections and disconnections between copyright law in the theater and the actual practice of theater-making. Key questions include: What controversies between playwrights and other collaborators (designers, directors, actors, etc.) have emerged in the industry? What organizational frameworks or professional norms attempt to mitigate copyright law's failures? How do members of the theater community assert their legal authority? How has the history of copyright in the theater shaped its present form? What should the future of copyright and theater be?
We will combine the perspectives of legal scholars, theater historians and critics, and theater practitioners. We aim not simply to share research and assumptions about theater and copyright, but also to develop a sustainable dialogue about how theater artists can work better with copyright and how copyright can better serve the theater.
